28th July Thursday Bible Discussion

Today 7 people attended Bible discussion not including James, Josh Ann and myself. This seems to be the average number lately with people being away and Jim in Bali. I was thankful this week to have James lead the group and Roxan cook lunch for us. It was a tough study today with aggressive Bible discussion. However saying this I am thankful that people will express their mind and possibly get out some agression they are harbouring. I am also thankful that God was with us and everyone left the afternoon at peace and in a reconciled state.
Through this God continually reminds me of what our Chruches should be like. We will always have disagreements but how we deal with them will show what we truly do believe in.
Thanks for your prayers they are much needed. Thanks also to God for continually showing His sovereignty over Tuesday nights and Thursdays.
Michael

22nd July Thursday


Today we had 7 people attend plus Josh,Ann, Lisa (my wife ) and myself. 2 new people attended Ray whom I have known for a few years now and Nossi who came because someone had told him about our group. He seemed to enjoy the fellowship. Praise God that he continues to bring people even during this cold weather.
Thanks Michael

Thursday 15th July

Strangely enough with the weather fine and sun out many of our regulars were away. However 6 people still attended which was good to see. One guy was going through a bad patch this made it a little difficult to run things yesterday. Please pray for him that God will give him peace and calmness. He was angry at everyone and expressed this to me clearly after everyone had left.
Please continue to pray for the Thursday group and the people who attend.
Thanks
Michael

Thursday 8th July

Everyone thank you for your prayers. Today 11 people attended Bible discussion. It was wet and cold and God still brought people. It was a particularly busy time today as a funeral was also underway in the main Church and people were coming and going and I was speaking to others around at the same time. (situation normal)
July Shum team - Craig who I spoke to (and maybe some of you as well) and encouraged to attend turned up today praise God. On Tuesday night if you meet him Please encourage him to continue to come and have fellowship with us. He has a beard and is a little rough looking but is a very nice guy. Please pray he will return. Please also continue to pray for one guy in Thursday's group that God will continue to soften his heart and speak to him as He has been doing. Sorry I took the photo near the end of the meeting, with so much going on I often forget.
Thanks everyone for your prayers.
Michael
